9Cinque Terre, Italy

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cinque Terre is a collection of five colorful coastal villages perched along the rugged cliffs of the Italian Riviera. Each village – Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore – exudes its own unique charm, with pastel-hued buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Hike the famous coastal trail that connects the villages, sample fresh seafood and local wines, or simply relax on the sun-drenched beaches.
